Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love that it requires stretching My kids (10, 7, 3) had a good time playing with Mental Blox. While my 3 year old just would build whatever he wanted, my older two took the provided cards to be challenged with the set designs. I like how the cards range from very easy to increasingly harder. I love that this activity required my children to stretch their brains and perspective. Though the game did ultimately make my 7 year old cry out of frustration, with some help and explaining from Dad he was able to calm down and enjoy the blox again. Overall I'm happy with this educational game. *Game was provided for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mental Blox Building Game We've had this game for about a week now and my two boys have played with it every day since it came in. My 4 year old loves building blocks and puzzles so this game is perfect for him. I have really enjoyed going through the cards with him and he of course loves that it is something we can do together. He plays with it on his own as well but prefers we do it together. Our 2 year old loves to build with blocks and though he doesn't use the cards, he will spend a lot of time building with the blocks. They both really love them. If we had seen these at a friends house, I would definitely have added them to our Christmas list. (I was provided this game in exchange for my 100% honest review)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My whole family loves it This is an awesome 3-D puzzle activity. The first time opening this box and my four year old was hooked (I know it's for five+ year olds, my sic year old loves it too). There are 40 puzzles cards, they both did them all with a very limited amount of help, but a good amount of time working out the problems. The best benefit, in my opinion, is the way it makes them look at a problem differently, using a part of the brain that needs to be exercised as much as kids need physical exercise. It really is a great brain-boosting, make them think in a visual way game. *I was not financially compensated for this post. I did received the product for review purposes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This Game Is Mental! As Millennials, we are naturally drawn to anything that looks like Tetris so when we were sent Mental Blox 360° it was game over. This isn't any old puzzle game, this one really makes you think, it's almost like playing a Tetris/Monuments Valley mashup in real life. You get these cards with an innocuous picture on them and then with the allotted blocks you have to figure out as quickly as you can how to make the design. Really, it is mental. We have seen a few 3D Building Game's but this one has a fun alternate perspective take on it that really makes it fun for the whole family. You can even compete in teams to see who can create their cards image the quickest. Family game night just got mental! This is a quality product with blocks made to last a long long time with many uses. We can't recommend this STEM set enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Much Fun And Engaging! We enjoy seeking out the products that encourage creativity and imagination, as well as the products that can engage the entire family! Well one company that I have relied on for years with my kids when it comes to finding those products is Learning Resources, and when we got the Mental Blox, we were once again pleased with our choice! We found this to be a fun puzzle like game that my kids were able to do together. I loved watching to see how while the kids played, it really got the gears going in their heads. I like that it is geared towards being a game that challenges the kids with the various puzzles that they can build using the blocks. I also liked that with the 3 levels of play, that even after the kids completed one level, they could continue to be challenged over and over again! Which in all has made this game not only a great one for having in the home, especially on those cold and rainy days, but also a product that I have added to my list of great gifts to give this coming holiday season!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Family Favorite This is an awesome 3-D puzzle activity that reminds me of Tetris. The first time opening this box and my whole family is addicted already. There are 40 puzzles cards to work out. They did them all with a very little help, and making a contest out of who could do it the quickest. I really like how it makes them look at a problem differently to figure it out, making them use different parts of the brain. *I was not financially compensated for this post.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Takes Building to A Whole New LEVEL! My children were HUGE fans of the original Mental Blox game so when I saw this 360 3D version, I knew they would love this one even more because it would be a whole new challenge! It really challenges children to look at objects from different viewpoints and I really love that there are different levels of play so that it appeals to all the ages of my children and can grow with them too! I love the bright colors and the shapes which are great for early ages and special needs as well! And it can promote group work too which I know my children can work on! :) I love how they took this familiar game and put a twist on it! It will keep my children busy all winter long! * I received product in exchange for my honest opinion. No compensation was given. *

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Educational & Fun! My daughter has been loving our Mental Blox! I love watching her playing with the blox. I can see working and thinking as she looks at the cards and try to recreate the shapes shown. My daughter thinks she is just having fun playing and she is actually learning a lot! These blox are great in many ways! They are bright, colorful, sturdy, and perfect for younger ages! I received these in exchange for my honest review, all opinions expressed are 100% my own.
